Creating Artwork for Your Custom Car Tags

If you’d like us to design your car tags

First decide what plate type fits your needs and budget. Then call us at 1-800-330-8247 or send email to to begin the artwork process. (Before contacting us, note that we sell tags starting at quantities of 25 and above — single plates not sold.) In most cases, artwork is free.

Occasionally there are exceptions for custom artwork that is complex (about one in ten cases). In that event, however, we will give you pricing ahead of time for creating the artwork. (Usually about $50 in such cases.)

Remember we are experts in mobile graphics. We design for maximum visibility on an item that should be readable at a distance and while moving. Count on us to suggest changes to the ideas you may have for your design to make it the best it can be.

Within 3 business days we’ll have your car tags’ custom artwork up on a web page for you to look at and review, and will mail you a hard-copy by postal mail if you like.

If you’ll be designing your own car tags

We’re experts at designing for legibility and clarity. But if you want to tackle the design of your custom car tags yourself, save the artwork in an acceptable file format. The preferred format is EPS, created by vector drawing/ illustration programs such as Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand, or CorelDraw. Be sure to get our free custom car tags layout template in EPS format for such programs on our downloads page. Tag layouts submitted using the template and that follow our artwork guidelines qualify for a $50 order discount.

Other formats we accept (though discount does not apply) are: TIF, GIF, JPEG, or BMP. If you use formats other than EPS, a higher resolution such as 300dpi (dots per inch) at a minimum, on up to 600dpi, works much better than low-resolution images such as website graphics saved at 72dpi. Don’t hesitate to call if you have questions.

Custom artwork should be sent to us by:

• Emailing artwork to: . Or
• Providing a web page for your organization where we can view the artwork. (Web art is low-resolution, and will likely need modification by us.) Or
• Mailing a CD with your artwork to our offices.
